01 THE INVITATION
Don’t just read
the mystery.
Step inside it.
There’s a moment when a detail stops being a detail.
A timestamp. A missing line. An alibi that fits a little too well.
Detective Night turns that moment into your evening. Each original case is a self-contained investigation, with written evidence, four suspects, and a conclusion you must justify.
No searching the internet for the answer. No specialist knowledge to bring along. The rules and records you need are inside the dossier.
See what’s inside a caseYour next night together
Share the dossier, debate the evidence, and agree on your final accusation.
Your curious side
Work through changing difficulty levels, from your first case to layered evidence chains.

08 BEFORE YOU OPEN THE FILE
A FEW ANSWERS, WITHOUT THE SPOILERS.
Curious?
You should be.
Here’s what to know about the format, the challenge, and choosing your collection.
Return to the collectionsWhat exactly is Detective Night?
A collection of original, fictional mystery games delivered as English-language PDFs. You investigate written evidence and answer six final questions, then compare your reasoning with a separate solution. The enchanted archive is the visual setting of this website; the five completed cases are grounded deduction stories.
What do I receive with a case?
Four files: a 17-page Investigation, a 3-page fillable Notebook, 4 pages of progressive Hints, and a 7-page Solution. Every collection also includes the Start Here and Group Play guides. These page counts describe the five completed cases; future cases may differ.
How many mysteries are ready?
Cases 01–05 are complete. The 20-case archive is planned in four batches of five. Packages containing 8, 12, or 20 cases are shown as future collections and are not open for purchase until their included cases are complete.
Are the files in English?
Yes. The investigations, clues, notebooks, hints, solutions, and guides are in English. A different-language edition is not currently part of these collections.
Can I play alone or with other people?
Both. Work through the records solo, or investigate together in a personal game session. The Group Play guide explains how to share the evidence, manage hints, and reach a joint verdict. No actor or outside game master is required.
How long does an investigation take?
The completed cases have estimated sessions of 45–100 minutes, depending on the case and your pace. They are not timed challenges. Pause, revisit a record, and continue when you want.
Do I need an app, printer, or special knowledge?
You need a device that can read PDFs, or printed reader materials. No separate game app, internet research, external audio, electronics knowledge, or botany knowledge is required. The fictional systems and their rules are explained in the supplied evidence.
Can I fill in the notebook digitally?
Yes, the notebook has fillable PDF fields. Use a PDF reader that supports form filling and save a copy of your work. Browser PDF viewers vary in form support; printing the notebook and writing by hand is also an option.
What if I get stuck or accidentally see a spoiler?
Hints offer three progressive levels. Open one level at a time when you need a nudge. The solution is a separate file, clearly marked for spoilers. Keep it closed until you have committed to your final answers.
Which collection should I start with?
Choose First Case for a single introductory evening, Opening Trilogy for three cases with increasing complexity, or Midnight Collection for the entire completed first batch. Larger collections are part of the future roadmap.
Is this a subscription? Can I replay the cases?
The displayed offers are one-time digital collections, not subscriptions. You can revisit your files, but knowing the solution changes the challenge: a case is best treated as one fresh deduction experience, then a story to review.
How do delivery, refunds, and support work?
Checkout has not opened yet. When sales open, the purchase platform will show the file-access method, final charge, applicable refund terms, and seller contact details before payment. For a completed purchase, use the support contact on your order receipt. No payment details are collected by this page.
LEAVE THE ORDINARY EVENING BEHIND.
The evidence is waiting.
So is your first case.
Five original mysteries. Four files per case.
One evening that might end with “I knew it.”
